Chapter Ninety-Three: Encirclement

  Continue on the road, the next two days were very calm, passing through two big cities, getting closer and closer to the Imperial City.

  The quieter it is, the stranger things are. The Xue family can't possibly give up such a good opportunity to hunt him down.

  "Two days are left to cross the desolate and uninhabited mountain range, which should be the final leg of the journey. After crossing this mountain range, we will head straight to the Imperial City."

  Liu Wuxie stood on a mountain peak, gazing out at the endless mountains in front of him. Many merchants passed by this way, but now it was winter and nearing the end of the year, most of them had stopped to return home and celebrate the new year with their families.

  Normally, it would take two days to cross the mountain range without any delays. In order to avoid being delayed for too long, Liu Wuxie decided to travel through the night and rush to reach the Imperial City as soon as possible.

  Entering the city, safety is higher, Xue's family still dare not openly kill people in the city.

  Put on a tight-fitting suit, convenient for rushing, toe lightly, body rapidly sliding, slipping out dozens of meters away, the Seven Star Step has already reached the level of pure perfection.

  In the honest month, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and there is only half a month left until the end of the year. The Imperial Academy's rigorous examination still needs to be passed, and only those who pass have the qualifications to enter the academy for cultivation.

  A lone tree retreated, continuously sprinting for three hours, nearing dawn. Liu Wuxie slowed down his pace, took out a few Yuan Yang Dan and swallowed them, sat cross-legged, keeping his true energy full at all times, ready to respond to any uncertain factors that might arise.

  Sitting on the trunk, with eyes and ears open, any movement of wind or grass cannot escape his eyes.

  Wave after wave of chilliness arrived, Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, the Taohuang Tianxue had swallowed and absorbed the spiritual energy within tens of thousands of meters around him, continuing to absorb more would not be very meaningful.

  "It's strange, all the insect sounds around us have disappeared." Liu Wuxie cast out the Ghost Eye Technique, piercing through layers of trees, reaching a thousand meters away.

  The surroundings were quiet and soundless. In this primitive mountain range, even if all the animals were hibernating, there would still be some small demonic beasts coming out to forage for food. Tonight was too strange.

  "Murderous aura!"

  A faint murderous intent lingered in the air, which was usually hard to detect. Liu Wuxie sensed it with his Ghostly Eyes technique, and this killing aura had been left behind a long time ago.

  The Ghostly Gaze technique continued to spread, the trees in front of him gradually becoming transparent, unable to block his line of sight. His gaze swept around in a circle, and a chill ran down his spine.

  "Indeed a good move!" Ordinary people can't see several thousand meters away.

  Liu Wuxie used his Ghostly Gaze technique, and the trees that blocked his view all disappeared, revealing the entire mountain range in clear detail.

  Four directions, more than a hundred people surrounded him, their strength was not low, most of them were in the Washing Spirit Realm, and there were even more First Heaven Realm cultivators, and what's even more frightening was that there were also Washing Marrow Realm cultivators among them.

  They had sealed off all of Liu Wuxie's possible escape routes and were lying in wait all around.

  "Zhen Shi, you've actually mobilized the entire City Lord's Manor army to kill me? You really do think highly of me." A cold smile appeared on Liu Wuxie's lips.

  The body disappears on the spot, how can it be waited for death.

  With the help of nightfall, they hid perfectly, and with the assistance of Ghostly Gaze Technique, they stood undefeated. They didn't dare to light a fire, so they could only rely on moonlight to hurry along their journey.

  Heaven's timing, earth's advantage and people's harmony are all on Liu Wuxie's side.

  "Heifeng Cliff is actually quite a good place!"

  He took out a topographic map and saw the entire mountain range at a glance. He put away the map and Liu Wuxie rushed straight to Black Wind Cliff.

  Hei Feng Cliff has steep cliffs on three sides, so they can't be surrounded from all sides and the effect of group attack is lost.

  A team of over a hundred people gradually gathered together. Liu Wuxie's body rushed straight towards the direction of Heifeng Cliff, and they would definitely collide with the main army of the City Master's Mansion along the way.

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  Speed gives birth to the extreme, like a black residual shadow, shuttling between various trees, the big moon's luster shines down, and can only vaguely see an outline.

  Liu Wuxie seemed to have known all along where the big trees were and where the giant rocks blocked the road, with the help of Gui Tong's technique, none of these were a problem.

  "Uh-oh, this kid is going to run!"

  A loud shout came from a distance, they had been very careful, but didn't expect to be discovered by Liu Wuxie so soon.

  "Stop him quickly, he can't be allowed to get away!"

  Mobilizing such a large army, if Liu Wuxie escapes, there will be no way to explain it to the city master when we return, so we must kill Liu Wuxie.

  Dozens of people rushed closer, unleashing their martial skills, no longer hiding their bodies, forming a powerful airflow that charged towards Liu Wuxie's body.

  "What a magnificent sight!"

  Liu Wuxie made the first move, his short knife tearing open the large tree in front of him, creating a terrifying wave of knife energy that enveloped dozens of people.

  Dealing with one or two Washing Spirit Boundary is still manageable, but dealing with so many masters at the same time is very difficult.

  They are also the city master's team, well-trained and skilled in a set of combined combat skills. In single combat, they may not be the most formidable, but once combined, they can instantly kill all high-level masters of the same realm.

  Their opponent is Liu Wuxie, and when dealing with ordinary people, mobilizing so many people will definitely make it easy to complete the task.

  "Hahaha..."

  The knife aura can change its trajectory, bypassing those big trees. Liu Wuxie has already cultivated the Blood Rainbow Knife Technique to the level of man-knife unity, and only a strong true energy can maintain this consumption.

  "Not good!"

  Dozens of people intercepted him, but unfortunately, they underestimated their opponent and were a step too late.

  Dozens of people were nailed to the big tree, each with knife marks on their bodies, containing knife intent, instantly destroying their vitality.

  Without pursuing his victory, Liu Wuxie tore open a gap and rushed towards Heifeng Ya.

  Don't give them a chance to surround you, end it with one knife, turn around and leave, no dragging or hesitation, at this time, you must not be tempted to fight.

  Liu Wuxie had personally witnessed a generation of invincible war gods die on the battlefield, surrounded by siege arrays.

  Even a powerful war god will eventually succumb to exhaustion and die in the face of human wave tactics.

  Don't give them a chance to form an array, this is also why Shi Pojun is invincible, their battle array technique, resonates throughout the Great Yan Imperial Court.

  A withered branch can easily tear down a large city.

  Liu Wuxie hadn't gained enough confidence to confront the War Array, so choosing to flee was the best option. Without the Washing Marrow Realm's support, he might have chosen to face a head-on collision, but in terms of both numbers and realm, Liu Wuxie was currently at a disadvantage.

  "Don't let him get away, chase after him!"

  One after another, the information was transmitted out, and three other regions rushed over at high speed, closely following behind Liu Wuxie's body, separated by more than 100 meters. More than 100 people ran, causing the ground to produce a deafening roar, startling countless monsters.

  As they got closer and closer to Hei Feng Cliff, Liu Wu Xie suddenly accelerated, leaving him with little time.

  Treading on the seven stars, his body almost stuck to the ground flying, both feet treading on dry leaves, bringing up a whirlwind, the dry leaves behind him flew up, floating in the air, lingering unable to fall.

  After a cup of tea, finally entered Black Wind Cliff.

  "Form up!"

  At the first time, Liu Wuxie took out a formation flag from his storage bag and set up the Qingmu Absolute Killing Formation. There were still some materials left, so he refined ten more formation flags to prevent Xue's family from ambushing halfway.

  Having cultivated the Overbearing Fist still didn't put Liu Wuxie at ease. Refining the formation flags was to be prepared for any eventuality, and they really came in handy.

  Hei Feng Ya has cliffs on all three sides, making it most suitable for setting up a formation. Choosing this place will ensure absolute safety.

  Ten black array flags were quietly inserted into the ground, inconspicuous and unremarkable. No one knew that such an unremarkable array flag would burst out with earth-shattering power.

  The formation is just one move, originally relying on the momentum of heaven and earth. This place with high mountains and steep terrain is most suitable for setting up a killing array, borrowing the power of the land.

  Soon, the city master's mansion arrived with a large army of over 150 people, forming an iron torrent that rushed towards Heifeng Cliff, shaking the giant boulders on the cliff edge to make a crashing sound.

  Liu Wuxie stood at the edge of the cliff, holding a knife in his left hand, quietly waiting.

  "Liú Wú Xié, you can't escape!"

  The misty veil was lifted, and the face became clearer. Under the moonlight, a familiar face appeared in front of Liu Wuxie.

  "It's you!"

  Liu Wu Xie revealed a hint of strange color, it was none other than one of the three people from the Xue family who had tried to kill him in Cang Lan City that day.

  Xue Changnian should have returned to the Imperial City with another person, leaving behind a Washing Bone Realm expert to kill a small Pre-Heavenly Realm cultivator, which wasn't even a challenge.

  "Liú Wú Xié, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!" Xue Changqing let out a sinister laugh.

  On that day in Canglang City, he was slapped by Muyueying. The anger had been suppressed in his heart all this time. All of this was because of Liu Wuxie. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have ended up getting slapped in the face.

  "I'm really curious, how did you guys end up joining forces with the City Master's Manor?" asked Liu Wuxie with a smile.

  Xue's family secretly joined forces with the City Master's Mansion, which was indeed beyond Liu Wuxie's expectations.

  "The world is full of people seeking profit; our interests are aligned, so why shouldn't we form an alliance?"

  This explanation is reasonable, their goals are consistent, unite together, expand their strength, and have a greater hope of killing Liu Wuxie.

  It's unlikely that Xue Changqing alone could ambush Liu Wuxie halfway, as the mountain range is so large that Liu Wuxie can completely bypass it.

  In conjunction with the City Master's Mansion, taking advantage of the City Master's Mansion's power, many hidden sentries were set up on the road. Every time Liu Wuxie appeared, he was discovered by the City Master's Mansion's scouts long ago.

  "So how do you plan to kill me?" Liu Wuxie nodded slightly.

  On that day, the three of them did not leave Tsang Lung City and should be staying at the city lord's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

  "Death by a thousand cuts!" Xue Changqing said, "No, no, no, death by a thousand cuts is too easy for you. I want to slowly torture you, let you know the consequences of offending the Xue family."

  Every word echoed in Liu Wuxie's ears, and a thousand cuts would not be enough to calm the anger in his heart.

  "It's up to you whether you have this skill or not!" Yu Wu Xie shrugged.

  As long as they have this skill, no matter how they deal with it, there is a cliff of ten thousand feet behind, really can't be an enemy, at most jump down.

  "Xue senior, how should we make our move?"

  The lord of the castle walked out, at the peak of spiritual cleansing realm, with an inquiring tone.

  Is it a group attack, or will Xue Changqing take action to suppress Liu Wuxie.

  The exit has been blocked, and Liu Wuxie can't fly out even with wings.

  "This kid is very cunning, we must be careful and send a few people up to probe him."

  Recently, for more than a month, news about Liu Wuxie has been circulating. Xue Changqing read it once in the City Master's Mansion. This child is too cunning and must be careful.

  Can kill the marrow washing boundary, but it's not an ordinary person, lest there be pitfalls.

  "Join hands!"

  The lord of the castle ordered the ten-man team on the right side to make a probing attack.

  "Yes!"

  Ten people holding weapons, step by step closing in on Liu Wu Xie. A burst of cold wind howled up from the bottom of the cliff, and Liu Wu Xie's robes fluttered violently in the gusts, making a loud whooshing sound.
